Food was really good, and their set menu was really affordable and definitely worth the price - we got a soup, a main course, dessert and drinks for just under RM60. The green tea panna cotta was soft and not too sweet, just how I enjoyed it.

The pizza was surprisingly delicious, exceeding expectations with its well-balanced flavors and crispy yet chewy crust. As for the pasta, it’s usually a safe choice, but on that particular day, the squid ink pasta was slightly too salty, which detracted from an otherwise enjoyable meal. If it wasn’t for their gin and tonic promo we wouldn’t think to have walked in there. Didn’t manage to snap all we that we ate.

One of my favorites in regards to Italian food! Their tapas dishes are very good and their mains are quite excellent. The squid ink risotto is the standout dish for me and it is a must-try. I like all their pastas as well. The place itself is also very warm and welcoming, especially for dinner. Service is not bad here as the staff are very friendly and helpful. One of my servers got mixed up on my order and he was very kind to offer us free desserts as means to make up for his mistake. The food here is also served very quickly even when there's a crowd. The portions are also not bad and can be ordered to share for a big group. In summary: highly recommended!

The food here is really nice! Service is great too. Very helpful staff. Like the pizza here. The dough is done really well. The cheese makes it taste different. They make their own Tabasco sauce which is nice. I like their pasta as it's made from fresh pasta. Good texture. The pumpkin soup tastes good too! Overall the food here taste really good. Made with freah ingredients. We spent RM170+ for 3 adults and 2 children.

My expectations were probably set on a lower scale after reading some latest reviews, but I was surprised by how good it turned out.... The Olio spaghetti was flavourful and the recommended Carbonara pizza was a hit with my family. The garlic prawn was a good starter which goes well with bread but the mushroom soup was kind of a letdown as it was bland. Apart from the soup, we enjoyed our meal overall.

Food is excellent. Taste, portion, presentation are well done. The service is average. Atmosphere is calm, quiet, relaxing. Price is on the high side. No dairy free options on the dessert menu.

Poor service. Friendly during seating but hard to get their attention after. Great atmosphere. Cosy and comfortable. Pasta is a welcomed surprise - it is freshly made and perfectly al dente. Soaks up the sauce well with a good bite. Pizza was a mess. Too much ingredients on the top - made it soggy and overwhelming. Portions are quite small for that price point, however we really appreciate the freshly made pasta. If we were to repeat this restaurant - will order only from the fresh pasta menu.
